I love collared tank tops for summer, but I don't love the almost $20 price tag. When I saw this sheer, collared, button-down shirt at a small, not-for-profit thrift store in my hometown, I couldn't help but see the potential past the shoulder pads & oversized sleeves.
This was really simple. After cutting out the ridiculous shoulder pads, I cut off the sleeves, leaving some extra fabric around the edges so I could hem it. I folded the sleeves over, pinned, and sewed. I liked the relaxed, loose feel of the shirt, so I didn't mess with the width at all. My cousin's 3-year-old son decided to model with me.
TOTAL COST: $0.50 and 15 minutes of my time :)
(Compare to this tank on Forever21.com for $17.80)
